Re: Your Favorite Video Game of All Time

SimCity 4. Old game, but I still love it.
MVP 2005. With the continual modifications, it continues to seem new. Classics Gold is remarkable.
the Half Life series. The second is remarkable.
The Thief series. Garret rocks.
Bioshock. Yowzer.

Pong.
My parents wouldn't buy any video games after that first generation console.
I may have missed out a big chunk of something but I did love that Pong.

Three minutes of hand cramping basketball warfare. The Atari 2600 graphics were primitive, but the game action on this one was awesome.

I'm impressed that you had color television, RFS.


Don't forget Brick Out, Astroids, & the original Techmo Bowl with Bo Jackson and the Los Angeles Raiders.

And another vote for Intellivision baseball. There's a whole row of handheld cheapie video games at Wal-Mart of the Plug and Play variety. I always look for Intellivision.

Missile Command
SNES Castlevania (the first one I guess--I only ever owned one)--played the hell out of this in my dissertation year. A real anxiety release.

Re: Your Favorite Video Game of All Time

Oh yea, the zork text adventures on the C64 were pretty fun too.

After last night's post I looked up the C64 games I mentioned and found emulators for them, and pictures of the graphics.

I seem to remember the graphics beeing way, way, way cooler than that. Frankly, the clock radio in my car has better graphics than the C64 apparently had.

Re: Your Favorite Video Game of All Time

I would be lying if I said anything other than Tecmo Bowl.

Holy cow, I could command that run and shoot offense of the Houston Oilers. Duncan, Jeffires, Givens, and Hill.

Mercy.

Wow I forgot about the original Halo on the Xbox. That was one sweet campaign mode. I wish they would have followed through with that movie they were gonna make...

Re: Your Favorite Video Game of All Time

The original Star Wars arcade game (wire-frame graphics) is quite easily my all-time favorite. After not playing it since my HS years, I found that Nintendo packed it into the Rebel Strike: Rogue Squadron III preview disc for the GameCube. Score!

Others by system (only those I've owned):

Odyssey2: Quest for the Rings
N64: Conker's Bad Fur Day, Mario Kart 64
GameBoy Advance: Breath of Fire, Advance Wars
Nintendo DS: Advance Wars: Dual Strike, Hotel Dusk: Room 215
Dreamcast: Shenmue, PowerStone
Playstation 1: Wipeout XL, Spyro the Dragon
Playstation 2: Guitar Hero II, God of War
Playstation 3: Rock Band
PC: Doom
